Why would they put the junk in the dumpster? I'd tend to think that a
mom-and-pop place would have a way to recycle messed up parts. Now if
your making your guns out of some weird composite material then okay,
but if its good old metal then I'd think you're precious gun parts and
all the other junk would just be hauled over to the smelter and made
into usable slabs of metal. Waste not, want not and all that.
